        About Adhd

        Back to the top

        Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that can cause several persistent problems, such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. When ADHD isn’t properly managed it can create a range of problems such as poor performance in work or school, relationship problems, and lowered self-esteem.

        Despite being called adult ADHD, symptoms of the disorder start in early childhood. Some people may not be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder until adulthood and some adults may never be diagnosed with it at all. ADHD symptoms in adults may not be as recognizable as the symptoms present in children. For instance, hyperactivity often decreases as people age but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness, and lack of focus can often continue into adulthood.

        Common Medication
        Treatment Options

        There are a number of standard treatments for ADHD in adults. Treatment options typically include medication, education, skills training and psychological counseling, though a combination of these is often the most effective treatment. While these treatments can help to manage many symptoms of ADHD, there’s currently no cure for it. During your appointment, talk to your doctor about what treatment plan is right for you.

        ADHD

        Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that can cause several persistent problems, such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. When ADHD isn’t properly managed it can create a range of problems such as poor performance in work or school, relationship problems, and lowered self-esteem.

        Symptoms of adult ADHD can often begin to develop in early childhood. Some people may not be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder until adulthood and some adults may never be diagnosed with it at all. ADHD symptoms in adults may not be as recognizable as the symptoms present in children. For instance, hyperactivity often decreases as people age but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness, and lack of focus can often continue into adulthood.

        There is no definitive cause of ADHD. However, certain factors may increase your likelihood of developing the condition. Risk factors and possible causes for the development of ADHD include:

        - Genetics: ADHD often runs in families, so if you have a blood relative (such as a parent or sibling) who has been diagnosed with ADHD, you may be at greater risk of developing the condition.

        - Environment: Exposure to lead - often found in old pipes and paint - as a child may increase the risk of developing ADHD.

        - Development: Substance abuse during pregnancy - e.g. if your mother smoked, drank, or used drugs during pregnancy - may increase your risk of developing ADHD. Additionally, premature birth has been linked to the development of this condition.

        ADHD is classified into 3 types of behavioral patterns. While these patterns are primarily used for an ADHD diagnosis in adolescents, they can apply to adults as well. These behavior patterns, and their corresponding symptoms, are detailed below.

        Inattentiveness

        • Fails to pay attention to details
        • Makes mistakes in work
        • Difficulty with paying attention
        • Appears not to listen, even when spoken to directly
        • Difficulty following directions or instructions
        • Difficulty with organization and time management
        • Frustration and dislike of activities that require mental effort
        • Frequently loses personal items
        • Easily distracted
        • Forgetfulness

        Impulsivity/ Hyperactivity

        • Difficulty staying seated or staying still
        • Constant fidgeting or squirming while seated
        • Constant feeling of restlessness
        • Runs or climbs excessively, even when not appropriate
        • Difficulty with paying attention
        • Talks too much
        • Interrupts others, or blurts out
        • Has difficulty waiting

        Some individuals may experience or manage a combination of these symptoms. Certain symptoms or signs may be more apparent than others, but several symptoms from either form of ADHD appear at the same time.

        Psychiatry.org (managed by the board-certified psychiatrists of the American Psychiatric Association) estimates that roughly 8.4% of children and 2.4 % of American adults have ADHD.

        No. ADHD is classified as a developmental disorder rather than a mental illness. ADHD is perhaps most accurately described as a behavioral pattern that can yield problematic results - such as inattention and hyperactivity.

        Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is an outdated term that is no longer used by health care providers. ADD was used up through the 1980s to describe the inattentive ADHD symptoms detailed above.
        If you or your child is experiencing the symptoms listed above, you may want to speak to a pediatrician, family doctor, or general practice physician to discuss behavioral patterns. Depending on the age of the patient, this primary care provider may refer you to a mental health professional (such as an adult psychiatrist/ pediatric psychiatrist) or a behavioral health specialist who can definitively identify symptoms of ADHD and rule out alternative causes of abnormal behavior (such as psychiatric conditions like anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or depression).

        There are several standard ADHD treatment options. Treatment plans typically include medication, education, skills training, and psychological counseling, though a combination of these is often the most effective treatment. While these treatments can help to manage many symptoms of ADHD, there’s currently no cure for it. During your appointment, talk to your clinician about what treatment plan is right for you or your child.

        Common methods used to treat ADHD include:

        Medication

        ADHD medication will not cure the disorder, but these drugs can help manage symptoms. The medication available on Sesame that can be prescribed for the treatment of ADHD include:

        Non-stimulant medications

        These drugs may be a good option if you can't take stimulants because of health problems, or if stimulants cause severe side effects. Examples of non-stimulant medication include:

        - Atomoxetine & antidepressants: Antidepressants and atomoxetine act more slowly than stimulants and might take several weeks to fully take effect. These drugs have been shown to help improve the attention span of patients with ADHD.

        - High blood pressure medication: Blood pressure medications such as guanfacine and clonidine are most commonly used as a treatment for high blood pressure, but have been shown to positively affect parts of the brain that control attention and impulse. This medication is rarely if ever, prescribed to children managing ADHD.

        Counseling/ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

        A psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, or other mental health professionals can provide behavior treatment, social skills training, parent skills training, and counseling to ADHD patients. Other disorders, such as anxiety disorder or depression, may coexist with ADHD in certain adults. Professional counseling or psychotherapy may help you manage both ADHD and other mental health concerns in these situations.

        In addition to the treatment plans listed above, your doctor may recommend alternative therapies to help promote overall well-being. These include yoga/ meditation, diet therapy, and neurofeedback training. Before starting any of these alternate therapies, talk to your doctor about their effectiveness and whether or not they are right for you or your child.

        Psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and primary care physicians can all help get you the care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental and emotional health. Psychiatrists are able to prescribe medication to treat mental health conditions. Psychologists, on the other hand, are professionals who offer a range of mental health services - particularly talk therapy. Suitable for young children and adults alike, psychologists use talk therapy and psychotherapy to get to the root of your mental health condition and enhance your wellness and well-being. Psychologists are not able to prescribe medications.

        Doctors who specialize in psychiatry are trained to treat depression, anxiety, and a range of behavioral health and emotional concerns.

        Psychologists can treat these disorders, as well as provide counseling services. If you're looking for couples therapy, sex therapy, or stress management therapy, a psychologist could be the doctor for you.

        Connect with mental health professionals on Sesame who can assess your condition, manage your symptoms, and develop a treatment plan for you.

        A therapist is a medical professional that uses psychotherapy (generally called talk therapy) to help relieve the emotional distress and mental health issues of their patients. Many trained professionals fall under the broad umbrella of "therapist" including psychiatrists, social workers, mental health clinicians, life coaches, and licensed counselors. Therapists can treat a wide range of mental health disorders that include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and relationship problems. Therapists can also help you gain tools to better handle stress, or set and achieve major goals.

        Therapy is a great tool to help you track your emotions, reduce stress, work on goals like quitting smoking, guide you through major life decisions, hone skills like communication, or address problem areas in your life. Talk therapy has been widely received as an effective health care treatment for many different mental health conditions including:

        • Substance abuse
        • Eating disorders
        • Self-esteem issues
        • Relationship problems
        • Behavior issues

        Therapists specialize in treating a wide range of conditions. Some of the most common therapy specializations include:

        Psychotherapists: Psychotherapists help people deal with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and insomnia.

        Marriage and family therapists: Marriage and family therapists practice solution-based approaches to working through patterns of behavior within a family unit.

        Social workers: Licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) work in many different settings including schools, hospitals, human service agencies, private practices, and mental health clinics to help you cope with everyday problems.

        Licensed professional counselors (LPC): Licensed professional counselors hold a master’s degree in mental health services and provide treatment options for a wide variety of mental health issues within local communities including services for veterans, active-duty military personnel, and their families.

        Licensed mental health counselors (LMHC): Also known as licensed professional counselors, LHMCs provide talk therapy to families, couples, and individuals.

        Couples therapists: Couples therapists provide counsel to couples seeking to improve their relationship and gain the tools needed to recognize and resolve conflicts.

        Marriage and family therapists: Licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT) provide therapy to some or all members of a family unit to help with relationship issues. Family therapy is often short-term therapy with a finite amount of visits. Marriage counselors can also assist couples looking to end their relationship affably.

This is a great opportunity to work through priorities and decide whether or not this therapist a good fit for you.

        Many therapists use a method called emotionally focused therapy (EFT) which is a short-term therapy with the goal of aiding the bond between partners.

        Guanfacine ER (generic for Intuniv) is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults. ADHD makes it difficult for adults to pay attention and control actions and behavior. Guanfacine ER helps control these symptoms by calming nerve impulses in the brain.

        Originally called hyperkinetic impulse disorder, ADHD is one of the most common childhood diagnoses, affecting nearly 4 percent of all adults in the United States. Research shows a strong genetic link, which means you are more likely to have ADHD if your parent or sibling also has ADHD.

        Looking for a safe, effective way to help control your ADHD? Talk to your doctor about whether guanfacine ER is right for you.

        Guanfacine ER is used to treat ADHD. Doctors usually include it as part of a total therapy program that includes social, educational, and psychological treatments. Guanfacine ER is different from many ADHD drugs in that it is not a stimulant. It can help reduce certain symptoms related to ADHD including temper, impulse, hyperactivity, inattentiveness, and distraction.
